The Common is a high-energy power pop quartet from Indianapolis, IN. We live somewhere on a street where 60's pop, 70's arena rock, and 80's college rock all hang out together. The music falls nicely in that realm of “power pop” that equates to big guitars, upbeat tempos, melodic lyrics, and harmony vocals. Being children of the 80’s, it's not surprising to hear sounds from the Common similar to the bands who were at their best during that decade – The Clash, REM, The Police, The Jam, Cheap Trick and Smithereens are among our favorites. We also share a deep affinity for classic rock icons like The Beatles (of course), Rolling Stones (again, of course), and The Who.
There is currently a search for two types of bands for record label consideration.

* This list is not the confirmed line up order* HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE, ZANG!
hello, gentlemen of the common! long time, no see. hope things are well!
i'm shamelessly spreading the word about our appearance at birdy's battle of the bands finals this saturday. we've got a great show put together and hope y'all can make it out and perhaps vote for us!
you can get in for half price (or just get a ballot and not have to go in) by going to indymojo.com/battle and putting yer name on some list or something.
anyhow, we're on at 9:15, and suggest people get there early, as they had to turn 200 people away at the door last year.
hey you guys i have the pics up from the show in my pics area and if you like any of them and want them send me an e-mail addy and i will send them to you
